Maybe it got tired of people always going through it.

Maybe it was becoming unhinged.

May be it works only in nights...or may be only the folks to be alarmed get alarmed and ready with AK47 to attack intruders.

I think it might be a big con - just a trick and they're hoping people won't test it out.

It does not seem sturdy enough, I see no reason to "alarm" the gate. I have seen alarmed gates, they have a fully different look.

I think it is a con (deception) designed to scare people into staying out of the yard.

I remember my uncle's house whose gate stated "BEWARE OF DOGS" when my uncle don't have a dog at all. HA HA

I don't think I have seen one, usually they don't tell you because they want to catch you red handed. Its like those signs that say "beware of the Dog" when there is only a kitty cat in the home.

Here's a 'Beware of the Dog' sign we saw in Germany. The top line is 'postmen' and another is 'agents' but I can't remember the rest of the dog's tally. Teenager of course is the same in any language.

@JudyEv Haha that's funny! But I was wondering, what is it that they are trying to keep people from escaping from? Is it so bad inside the gate that people want to go running out?

@JudyEv Maybe they want to make sure they account for every single person who enters the wharf area, to ensure that nobody goes missing and is presumably drowned. Otherwise, I can't think of any other good reason.

There are doors like that in some businesses here. If you try to use them to exit they sound an alarm.

@JudyEv I have seen where you have to press a buzzer on a gate to be let in but not an alarm. Since it did not react when the guide took you the other way maybe the sign just says it is to keep people out.

It maybe has a buzzer inside somewhere so they know when it is opened to keep people from sneaking around. The guide would be expected to go through so alarm off
